    Do you think....

    that blue interior leather, sport adaptive seats, and YELLOW CARRERA seatbelts will look good ???, with no pccb, "just" red brake calipers, anyway...

    I need some pics of this combination, if anyone can show them to me, it would be a great help !!!

    I think I saw some 997 gt3 pics, with blue interior laether with yellow seatbelts, but I cant see them again

    Re: Do you think....

    That "nautica" reminds you of a 911???

    Seriously I need pics of blue interior leather with yellow seatbelts, if possible with the sport adaptiva seats!!!

    Re: Do you think....

    I would go with yellow seat belts if I ordered PCCB in yellow, if I ordered the regular breaks I would go with the red seat belts. just my 2cents.

    hehe, that is indeed a good point, but wont you go for yellow seatbelts, if you already have had a 997 with red brake calipers and red seatbelts??, the thing is I dont like the idea of having again red seatbelts...but yeah that is probably the best way, although I would like to see the effect with red brake calipers, yellow seatbelts with blue interior leather, although I have imagined myself this (and I think it would be great) I need to see pics of it, and then decide!

    Without seeing it, I'm not so sure it will look particularly appealing if I'm honest. I would need to see it I think.

    I know guys, but well at least in my imagination seems it could match, but yes, once you see the red brake calipers with the yellow seatbelts , I dont know....

    Isaw a couple of days ago, an interior pic of a gt3 (cant remember if it was 997 or 996), anyways it had pccb interior blue leather and yellow seatbelts, it was awesome!!!

    Lets see if someone has AT LEAST ONE SINGLE PICTURE!!!

    yes!!, aluminium seatbelts is also another option we didnt discarted, but its not as "sporty" or it hasnt that touch of racing and stuff!!

    Black seatbelts are great !!!, although we've liked and we still like having red seatbelts in the 997S, although in the upcoming adquisition , we would like another colour of seatbelts, red is great, and makes the car look sportier (from my point of view, although it could sound a bit tunning style ), but as I said we already have red seatbelts, proabbly we should go for yellow carrera, but my concern is the match with the red brake calipers!!, I already know from my point of view, and other pics from other owners, that interior blue leather with yellow seatbelts look GREAT, but again, main concern is red brake calipers match/combination!!, I know the answer is also adding pccb in the new upcoming car , but pccb its way too expensive!!

    I think blue int. with yellow would be cool but only with PCCB.

    Re: Do you think....

    yellow would look really nice offset with the blue, but i'm afraid you'd have to get the pccb to justify yellow seatbelts. (match calipers n belt is nice) if not i think you got too much stuff going and have to get the black. imo

    Re: Do you think....

    I don't get it, seat belts are messy, floppy, saggy, why call attention to them? The interior of the car is even too visually bizzy without them. Just my opinion.

    I agree, although maybe I'm more reserved about the colours I like (black and black in mine).
    One other point, do you need to consider how yellow belts would look with you in the car?
    Depending on your wardrobe you might end up looking up like a multi coloured Timmy Mallet (clown on UK kiddies TV when I was young).

    Re: Do you think....

    Being a Swede I'm all for yellow and blue. But I have to agree with some other people here... Even the patriot in me would not put that combo in a car unless you have PCCB. The thing will look like a rainbow. Very gay (happy, that is).

    May be will should go again for red seatbelts!!, dealer also recomend us not to go for yellow seatbelts if it wasnt equipped with pccb, ohhh well !!, we are not paying 7.000euros for pccb

    btw just camed from a porsche show, introducing the new cayenne turbo S, and well a general presentation with all models, including a silver amazing carrera gt parked outside in the door, to show off!!, Amazing !.....If anyone wants to see the pics, I'll do a thread about it
